***Official Notts County v City match thread***

Disappointed that Assulin and MJ aren't near the squad. Would also like Guidetti to be starting over Jo.

Be good to see how Jerome gets on at centre back though.

Assulin is only just coming back from injury and has had just 20 minutes EDS football so give him time. MJ might have been close but maybe there is a loan deal going on?

[Douglas Higginbottom]

Class players should be able to play on anything. Our problem will only be if we cant handle the long high ball stuff.

Jo against league 2 players should be an equal match so I expect him to score today in a 3.1 win.

[Crossie]

Not going to be pretty today is it?

[sharkey]

Anyone know when the draw for the next round is?

[Crazy_Cabbie]

If you look closely I'm sure there is a herb garden and potatoe patch on the left hand side of that pitch

I think its after our match m8.Not 100% sure though.

That about sums him up........I think we will have to accept he is here till at least the summer.

By the way - KK the time for kick off is wrong on the fixture list you gimp!!!..I have just woken up one hour early.

Maybe Jo will find his level today

10 minutes in and not much has happened. Yaya went close but for the keeper making a good save.

Cheers mate

Well done linesman

[Green & Blue]

If jo fails to impress today i reckon i have had enough of him.How many chances does he deserve?

My girlfriend just came out with "awe Jo just get off" after his header.Its that apparent hes garbage

[Crossie]

Well done linesman

Err watch the sexism please! Bit of a hot issue at the moment, I believe you meant to say linesperson! ;o)

lol

[Crossie]

We've settled nicely now, its building.

[ashton287]

seems to be a matter of time before we get one against these, should be an easy win in the end.

Might need to get jo off before we can get through these though

[blues2win]

Wow! Good run and cross from Jo nearly got Dzeko in. Micah had a great run down the right earlier which Yaya couldn't quite convert.

[Slim]

Not sure what language I am watching this in, but I think I am picking it up. Whenever they say....well anything, it means a County player has fallen over and got a freekick.

[Green & Blue]

Impressed with Dzeko's work off the ball, he covers quite a bit of ground

Ran the length of the field to help cover Zab then. Wish he and Jo would both stay up top though - shouldn't be playing with less than 2 forwards against a League One team.
